Faced with the threat of bombs, bacteriological warfare and poison gas, a married couple whose pacifism compels them to opt out of ‘civilisation’, take to the hills to live as fugitives in the wild.Plainly and simply told, Wild Harbour charts the practical difficulties, the successes and failures of living rough in the beautiful hills of remote Speyside. In this respect the book belongs to a tradition of Scottish fiction reflected in novels such as Stevenson’s Kidnapped and Buchan’s John Macnab. But it takes a darker and more contemporary turn, for although Hugh and his wife Terry learn to fend for themselves, they cannot escape from what the world has become. Their brief summer idyll is brought to an end as the forces of random and meaningless violence close over them.Written in 1936, Wild Harbour has lost none of its relevance in a post-nuclear age, nor its power to move and to shock.Santoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387344.post-8190355618481648762011-01-05T22:31:00.000+00:002011-01-05T22:32:29.342+00:00<h1 style="font-family: arial; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The top 20 DVDs of 2010</span></h1> <h2 style="font-family: arial; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Still struggling for a few last-minute Christmas gifts?

Listen to "Never Come Down" on the Andrew Lisfield <a href="http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/16841">Playlist</a> (the preceeding tracks are ambiently nice) <a href="http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=16841&drop=30">here</a>.<br /><br />Antibalas - <a href="http://www.daptonerecords.com/pages/dap12001.html">Che Che Cola</a> (Makossa) - Could be my new sound for the summer, maybe needs a techno remix before that happens. The Makossa remix heavy backbeat version certainly helps..... Listen to it <a href="http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=15953&amp;starttime=1:37:59">here</a>, from Hatch's <a href="http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/15953">playlist</a>. I have to recommend listening to the whole playlist as well, apart from the 20 minute jazzy bit in the middle.<br /><br />Lee Scratch Perry - Judgement in A Babylon - from the Brian Turner playlist <a href="http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/14878">here</a>, this is a stinging attack on Chris Blackwell, which is also very funny and groovy.

Also my favourite Moby track Run On is here too!<br /><br /><a href="http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/15482">Pseu's Thing With a Hook playlist from 24 June 2005</a>. Starting with the Ramones, then the Jesus and Mary Chain ( a personal favourite of mine), then the Ravenonettes, David Bowie, it also introduced me to Joy Zipper's best song (in my humble opinion) a lot later on in the playlist. Unfortunately there is no accuplaylist, and I can't quite remember how long into the playlist that the song starts.... Before that incidentally is the Teenage Fanclub - a band I had the pleasure of seeing live in my home town.<br /><br />My Bloody Valentine - To Here Knows When/Swallow - from the <a href="http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/11422">Karaoke Alarm Clock</a> playlist, I hadn't heard the second MBV track before, and was immediately hypnotised. Listen <a href="http://wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=11422&starttime=1:05:06">here</a>.<br /><br />My Bloody Valentine - What you Want. Well caught up in a bit of MBV nostalgia, been listening to Joy Zipper as a susbstitute..... From the <a href="http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/14859">Push Bin with Lou</a>, listen to it <a href="http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=14859&starttime=2:14:48">here</a>.<br /><br />Joy Zipper - previously mentioned above, listen to The Christmas Song <a href="http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=14816&starttime=2:21:52">here</a>, from the Evan Funk Davies show<br /><br />Serge Gainsbourg - Cargo Culte - from the playlist for <a href="http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/15436">Scott Williams</a> there is no accuplaylist, so click on <a href="http://wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=15436">realplayer</a> and scroll along to 1 hour and 58 minutes to listen. One of my favourite finds of the last 6 months, it immediately became apparent where I'd heard the bassline before! and when that choir sound kicks in....!<br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">Shelagh McDonald - Liz's Song - from the <a href="http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/16251">Hatch Sept 3 2005 playlist</a>.

A statement issued on behalf of Mr<br />Romanov, who from the end of the season will be known<br />as Club President, said: "We have been disappointed<br />with the performance of the fans. Results were not<br />what they should have been.<br /><br />"The way in which some events were discussed by the<br />paying support was disappointing to us.

Genuflection to the club<br />President is also appropriate."<br /><br />Mr Romanov, who from the end of next season will be<br />known as Tsar of All The Russias and Empress of India,<br />added: "I'd like to thank the Hearts support for all<br />its hard work. It gave 100%, but ultimately it did not<br />work out. Vladimir Romanov and the club's management<br />felt that something had to be done quickly.

On the<br />left is Dr Angry, and on the right is Mr Calm.<br /><br />Now, back away from your computer screen. This effect<br />will work at different distances for different people,<br />but you should see the two characters swap over...! As<br />you come closer to the screen again, they revert to<br />their original characters. Spooky or what!<br /><br />As optical illusions go, we think this is pretty<br />impressive. A short explanation goes something like<br />this. When we look at an object, we can normally see<br />both fine detail and coarse detail. However when we<br />are close, the fine detail will dominate, and when we<br />are further away, we lose the fine detail, and see<br />more of the coarse detail.<br /><br />Both of the faces you see above are hybrids - each<br />face is actually a combination of two faces. The left<br />hand face shows an angry man in fine detail, but<br />within the picture there is also coarse detail of the<br />calm face. Move away, and you lose the fine (angry)<br />detail, and just see the coarse (calm) detail.<br /><br />The right hand face shows the calm face in fine<br />detail, and the angry face in coarse detail.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />!SR<br /><br /></tt></pre>Santoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387344.post-1140392824507936202006-02-19T23:47:00.000+00:002006-02-19T23:47:04.513+00:00<a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/191/1751/50/new_kawasaki_1.jpg'><img border='0' style='border:2px solid #006600; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/191/1751/320/new_kawasaki_1.jpg'></a><br />Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja �Geometrik� edition (apparently) from <br /><span style='font-size: 8pt;'>!SR</span>Santoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387344.post-1140373699537535212006-02-19T18:28:00.000+00:002006-02-19T18:28:19.606+00:00<a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/191/1751/50/HYPNODISK.jpg'><img border='0' style='border:2px solid #006600; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/191/1751/320/HYPNODISK.jpg'></a><br />Eccentric Genius Hypnodisk, (not) available to take over the world at http://www.eccentricgenius.ca/Products7.htm<br /><span style='font-size: 8pt;'>!SR</span>Santoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387344.post-1140362056621477482006-02-19T15:11:00.000+00:002006-02-19T15:14:16.633+00:00Going anti-gravInstructions from the 1996 Electronics Now magazine on how to build your own ant-grvity machine (well an electro-magnetic levitator) re-printed on the web in full <a href="http://http://www.oz.net/%7Ecoilgun/lev_elexnow/home.htm">here</a>.<br /><br />!SRSantoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387344.post-1140315623411162962006-02-19T01:45:00.000+00:002006-02-19T02:20:23.466+00:00The incredible mind-control and journey of a parasiteFrom Pennyslvania Boat and Fish Commision, is this description of the life cycle of a fish parasite. The "Black Spot" parasite has be born in the belly of a bird, get passed to the water, live in a snail, before it progresses to live in a fish. <a href="http://www.fish.state.pa.us/Fish/qw_worms.htm">Link.</a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:100%;" >Incredibly,</span><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:100%;" >iIn order to increase the chances of a bird eating a host fish, the parasite actually alter fish behavior, causing it to swim awkwardly and nearer the surface, where a bird will more likely grab it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial,helv;font-size:85%;"></span></span><blockquote>The lifecycle of the "black spot" parasite is complex. The adult parasite is found in a fish eating bird, the kingfisher. The larval parasite is transferred from the infected fish to the bird during the feeding process. In the kingfisher, the larval stage develops into an adult parasite. The adult parasite in the intestine of the bird produces eggs that are eventually deposited in the water. There the eggs mature, hatch, and develop into the miracidium stage of the parasite. The miracidium infects a snail. In the snail, the miracidium develops into the cercaria life stage. The cercaria leaves the snail and actively penetrates a host fish. In the fish, the parasite becomes encysted. In about 22 days, black spots form around the cyst. This entire lifecycle takes at least 112 days to complete.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />!SRSantoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387344.post-1140312443012073512006-02-19T01:23:00.000+00:002006-02-19T01:27:23.023+00:00Civilisation crashFrom polyscience.org an interesting feature on the collapse of the Easter Island population. Read the interview with Dr William Basener <a href="http://polyscience.org/interviews/bill-basener/">here</a><br /><br /><blockquote>There are several well-known examples of societies that have experienced a collapse. Several of these are described in Jared Diamond’s recent book “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0670033375/qid=1126009948/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-7718167-0927338?v=glance&amp;s=books">Collapse.</a>” In each case there are a number of theories for the cause of the collapse. For example, take the Maya Civilization. At their peak, the population was as dense as modern day Los Angeles, and they built the magnificent buildings, but their population very suddenly dropped to a small fraction of their peak.<br /> <br /> <strong>Q:</strong> Can your work be applied to modern civilizations? Perhaps for the use of oil?<br /> <strong>A:</strong> We believe so. We are collaborating with some economists on applications to the present. Long-term sustainability is a well-studied topic, although much of the work is still being done<br /></blockquote><br />!SRSantoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387344.post-1140284718185954312006-02-18T17:13:00.000+00:002006-02-18T17:45:18.243+00:00Cheat at Poker ?Article from 1999 about cheating at online poker.<br /><br />Largely about random number generators.<br /><br />Link <a href="http://www.developer.com/java/other/print.php/10936_616221">here</a><br /><br />Another guide <a href="http://www.playwinningpoker.com/poker/cheat/online.html">here</a><br /><br />Notorious casino cheat claims 99 per cent of players will one day be cheating... <a href="http://www.silicon.com/research/specialreports/gambling/0,3800010160,39153953,00.htm">here</a><br /><br /><br /><br />!SRSantoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387344.post-1136933018236171302006-01-10T22:08:00.000+00:002006-01-30T22:59:01.076+00:00Playlist for 2006<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Tammy Lee - I'm Alive</span>.

But, of course, engineering feats and science breakthroughs were made possible by those who dared to explore the realms of the non-conventional. Members of the Munich-based THG lab are only too happy to confirm this fact. And not only did we find that our AMD Athlon FX-55 and GeForce 6800 Ultra equipped system didn't short out when we filled the sealed shut PC case with cooking oil - but the non-conductive properties of the liquid coupled created a totally cool and quiet high-end PC, devoid of the noise pollution of fans. The PC case - or should we say tank - also offered a new and novel way to display and show off your PC components.</blockquote><br /><br />!SRSantoz Rothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798154888162312386noreply@blogger.com0
